Your lucky,

I’ve been waiting for a couple of months for a keyboard to come on the market 
for my ipad mini,

It arrived on the Australian website for the company Brydge,

 I Ordered it Monday first thing in morning,

It was meant to be here by Monday 30th,

Shipped to me at work.

Now stuck in china somewhere and doesn’t arrive in nz until early April,
And until it arrives in nz / through customs I can’t change the delivery 
address.

Yeah we’re meeting every morning via zoom, it’s a great and very accessible tool
Zoom have worked well on accessibility especially on my ipad and phone and 
windows is almost as good.

Yes, she’s finding it hard to get motivated sometimes but she’s doing okay. 
She’s in a team of four others and they set up Zoom so they can still have 
their meetings. It was odd coming home from work last night and I could 
actually smell what the neighbours were cooking for dinner instead of the smell 
of Burger King from down the road.
Hey, but at least my coffee pods just got delivered so I’m set.

Yeah started working from home today,

Don’t know how your wifes finding it but I’m struggling after day 1,

Mind you my internet connection in the flat is crap and very slow, plus there 
is 6 in the flat and at least 3 of us are on line all day,

Really different when your limited to phone and email / remote desktop 
connectivity rather than someone walking in to your office with a computer

You getting out to work is great, I had to go for a 4 km walk tonight just to 
get exercise and fresh air.

Make sure yu and the wife take care out there in empty space,
That’s what it’s like, empty space.

I thought tonight on my walk it’s like being in a scene from the 80’s movie 
Quiet Earth,
Don’t know if you ever saw it, Bruno Lawrence
Keep  your hands to yourself and keep safe

Later.

Yes, we just set up my wife’s work computer in our office, it’s a bit of a 
tight fit as she has two monitors and a docking port for her laptop, but we 
made it fit. I Weill still have to go to work fro for the foreseeable future 
unless I get sick, but at least I won’t have to catch the bus to work any more 
as my wife can drive me for the next four weeks or more. Depending on how long 
this takes.
How about you, are you able to work from home?

Hi Petrus,

I’ve looked at androids and I’ve only found a couple of voices for them,

Might be that we don’t get the same range  down here but I thought they were 
more limited.

You ready for lock down?

Well some of the people on this list might want to Lynch me if I suggest this, 
but have you looked at Android phones as well? They might have some voices that 
might be easier on the ear. I haven’t got one myself but I think there are more 
voices available for them.

I will confirm the model via my apple id, then wait until   the CNIB individual 
 is here again, since the last voice left is  unsafe for my use.
I know about the adapters, but  as established, until I know the device is   
safe for use voice wise, accessories are the least of my focus.

I think it might be a 5c as I vaguely remember you telling us when you first 
got the phone. Not sure if you can delete voices and even if you could I don’t 
think I could test it as the steps might be different on IOS 10 then they are 
on 13.
As far as the lack of a  headphone jack goes on the new phones,, you do get an 
adaptor so you can still plug your old headphones into it through the charging 
port.

That is one reason why I want to dump  stuff. Alex, which apparently  works on 
this  phone takes allot of space.
I want to test voices with some knowledge, I start getting nauseous when voices 
 are  not correct.

Hi!
The 5 series can’t be updated any more.
But i don’t know if they update the voices sometimes.
Have you tried other voices such as the american voice Tom or other voices?

and a side siri one as well?
Will ask the siri one first..can it be removed once installed?
The voiceover voice  question has to do with sound quality.
I finally found a discussion thread about this with others noting the same 
thing.  Daniel who I believe is the UK English voice  changed in its enhanced 
form a while back.  I do not know if it has been  improved, or better still  
when was the last  upgrade to  the Daniel voice?
I have an iPhone in the 5 family.  it is possible    that  upgrading IOS 
itself, or the voice, if I can, will improve things.
for now though  the quality  clarity and pronunciation is rather dreadful.
I did not want siri, but apple accessibility, who was talking with the person  
helping me use the phone suggested the download because voiceover  itself was 
not working well according to them.
Siri, which was male in this case, sounded worse than the Daniel voice itself.
I believe? Nuance makes the apple voices.  Is there any way to reach them 
directly?
last of all, I understand there are other  options for voices,  with my 
wondering about direct contacts too, as I will have to walk someone else 
through  reaching them.
My situation is that since most software generated speech is in a frequency 
range that stimulates my brain's dizzy centres, experimenting can make me 
rather sick.  That is what happened when trying to resolve the Daniel / male 
siri  situation.
meaning I really want to plan ahead before testing anything further.
ideas?
Karen
